Emma Raducanu wins embarrassing award as Brit dug out at Italian Open

has only so far but she's already managed to win an award - just not one she'll be proud of. The British No. 2 shared a hilarious behind-the-scenes glimpse into one of the player areas at the Foro Italico, revealing that her name had been pinned on the wall for an embarrassing reason.

Raducanu posed in front of a sign titled 'Sorry I've lost my credential 2025 edition!!!', naming and shaming the stars who had misplaced their accreditation badges and had to get them reprinted. The world No. 49 came in first place on the WTA side, while Italy's Matteo Arnaldi was the 'winner' for the men.

It's only day three of the tournament on the women's side of the draw, but Raducanu has been very forgetful, asking for a new badge more than any other player.

The 22-year-old shared the unusual roll of honour on her Instagram story, standing in front and holding her finger up to show that she was number one.

In the photo, Raducanu revealed that she had even penned a letter explaining her mistakes, which had also been hung on the wall.

"Oops I did it again..." the note started, referencing the iconic Britney Spears song.

"I lost my badge, got a new one... was asked to only use the new one... I used the old one! I had to request a new badge. To be continued... EMMA RADUCANU."

The former US Open champion isn't the only player who has been forced to ask for a new badge. WTA world No. 64 Mayar Sherif came in second place alongside the ATP's Tallon Griekspoor.

Meanwhile, former world No. 1 was named in third place.

While Raducanu has had a tough time with her credentials, she's been enjoying herself in Rome on and off the court.

She came through a rollercoaster three-set match to beat Aussie qualifier Maya Joint on Wednesday night, earning her first career win at the Italian Open.

Afterwards, Raducanu . "I tried to come to site pretty late," the world No. 49 told Sky Sports.

"I actually managed to go to the Trevi Fountain but I didn't make a wish though, the queue was too long and I didn't have a coin!

"It was nice to kind of see the sights and then I had a nice lunch outside on a terrace somewhere on the street, it was pretty chill."
